Huge Thanks for the Reports
Thanks to all of the great folks here for your efforts in reporting the wildflower and fall color conditions for the Rocky Mountain area each year. When I have to drive a thousand miles to take a few photographs, it's comforting to know that it's not going to be a total bust when I get there.

I also want to mention how much I enjoy the incredible work that is posted here, and look forward to seeing your work next month. Good luck with the fall conditions this year - it will soon be upon us.

I spent most of my time in the San Juans, and thought I'd share a few of my favorites...hope you like them too. :wavey:

Somewhere along Cinnamon Pass Road...

Sorry, compression seems to be really boosting the saturation and contrast on this one.

Hey Bill,
Thanks for sharing your bounty with us! Even though it ain't 'flowery', there's something about the first shot that I like quite a bit.

I agree with John, that first is a gorgeous semi-abstract of cliffs, slopes, snow, grass and red talus, sort of a high-proof distillation of the San Juans.

Marvelous shots. Glad the light was good to you.

Nice abstracts! The color in the rocks in the SJs can be amazing... as you've shown.

Thanks for the nice comments. It was a great week to be in Colorado.
